Abstract: It is intended to provide a molding method whereby a body fluid purification cassette having a minimized size can be formed at a low cost. A body fluid purification cassette (U1), which is mounted to a body fluid purification apparatus body in a detachable manner, is composed of synthetic resin housings (F1, F2), fundamental elements (R1, 1, PT1) to be enclosed in the housings, selected element(s) (2) that are selected as necessary from among body fluid purification elements such as a dialyzer (2), a plasma exchange module and an immunoadsorption column, and body fluid channels (R1 to R7) connecting the fundamental elements to the selected element(s). The housings (F1, F2) and the body fluid channels (R1 to R7) are molded by the primary molding so that the halved cross section has a definite shape. Then, the halved constructs are integrated together by the secondary molding to give a cassette. In the step of integrating the body fluid channels in the halved constructs via the secondary molding, the fundamental elements (R1, 1, PT1) and the selected element (2) are liquid-tightly connected to the body fluid channels (R1 to R7).

Abstract: A hydrocarbon well treatment fluid is made recyclable by introducing a laminar flow enhancer into the fluid, resulting in a formulation called Slick Oil.TM.  hydrocarbon fluid. A  method of using a fluid in the treatment of a hydrocarbon reservoir is disclosed. A  hydrocarbon fluid is injected into the hydrocarbon reservoir, the hydrocarbon fluid comprising hydrocarbons and a hydrophobic laminar flow enhancer. The hydrocarbon fluid is recovered from the hydrocarbon reservoir. The recovered hydrocarbon fluid is then cleaned by removing contaminants from the recovered hydrocarbon fluid that have been introduced into the hydrocarbon fluid from the hydrocarbon reservoir. The hydrocarbon fluid is then re-used by injecting the cleaned and recovered hydrocarbon fluid into at least one subsequent hydrocarbon reservoir. Proppant carrying abilities of a hydrocarbon fracturing fluid are enhanced by introducing a laminar flow enhancer into the fluid, resulting in a formulation called Slick Oil.TM. hydrocarbon fluid.

Title: Floating standoff assembly
Inventor: MEYERS FRANK
IPC: E02B15/04
Filed: 2008-04-29
Abstract: A standoff system for keeping a containment boom or other floating barrier device spaced at a desired standoff distance away from a structure. The system includes an inner side member, an outer side member, and a plurality of compression members disposed between the side members. The system has a collapsed configuration in which the distance between the inner and outer side members is less than the desired standoff distance, and a deployed configuration in which the distance between the side members is greater than or substantially equal to the desired standoff distance. Alternatively, the system can be collapsed longitudinally by moving the adjacent compression members into abutting relationship with each other. The system is towed into place in the collapsed configuration, and once in place, is transformed into the deployed configuration by applying tension to the side members. The system also may include one or more tension members attached diagonally between adjacent compression members to keep the system in the deployed configuration. The standoff system can be a separate, free-standing structure placed between a ship and a boom or it can be integrated with a containment boom.

Abstract: Polynucleotide molecules and the proteins encoded by the molecules, diagnostic and treatment methods for neuro-logical disorders characterized by protein aggregation are provided.  Genes are described herein that affect the misfolding of, and subsequent aggregation of, aggregation-prone proteins such as alpha-synuclein and have implications for the diagnosis and treat-ment of neurological diseases related to protein aggregation such as Parkinson's disease. Knockdown of expression of the genes described herein using RNAi results in alpha-synuclein protein aggregation in a C. elegans model of protein aggregation.  Dopamin-ergic neuroprotection after overexpression of alpha-synuclein may also be provided by overexpression of proteins. Knowledge of genes relating to protein misfolding and aggregation provides powerful means to develop diagnostic screening methods, mutation analysis and drug design information for the development of novel therapeutic and neuroprotective compounds to treat neurodegen-erative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

IPC: F03D11/00
Filed: 2009-05-28
Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are provided for a wind diverter at least partially encircling a wind turbine support column to direct the wind from an area around a wind turbine to the rotor blades of the wind turbine. The wind diverter may also reduce turbulence and increases the laminar flow of the airstream delivered to the rotor blades. Addi-tionally, the wind diverter increases both the volume of air and the velocity of the airstream reaching the rotor so as to increase the rotor speed. Increasing the rotor speed increases the energy available to the wind turbine. Energy increases as the cube of the rotor speed and the increased energy produces an increase in the power generated by the wind turbine. The wind diverter also allows a wind turbine to begin producing energy at lower initial wind speeds due to the concentration of air.

Abstract: An apparatus for real-time control of glucose in a human or animal is provided. A sensor provides a time series of measurements of glucose level that indicate an inferred level of the glucose. A processor calculates a first estimate of the inferred glucose level from the measured glucose level using a first glucoregulatory system model, calculates a second estimate using a second glucoregulatory system model, and predicts a combined estimate. The processor is a state estimator defining a state vector that has variables with an associated uncertainty. The state vector includes various states, based on glucose amounts in the accessible, non-accessible, and interstitial compartments excluding the contribution from meals, the unexplained glucose influx, and glucose availability. A dispenser delivers a specified amount of medication to a user in response to a command from the processor based on the predicted combined estimate of the inferred glucose level.
